Despite the high altitude of the Tibetan Plateau, the daytime temperatures are actually quite mild. Between April and November the average temperature ranges form 15-25 degrees Celsius and the skies are generally clear and blue. From July to August though there can be the odd shower during the day. The nights, however, can be very cold and temperatures can drop below 0 degrees Celsius. During the day a light shirt or jumper and lightweight pants will be suitable, but a warm fleece or down jacket is recommended for the evenings. The best time of year for overland tours in Tibet is from April to November and for treks and Mt. Kailash tour from April to the beginning of October.
When planning your clothing needs for a trek, think in
terms of layers. Layers of clothing will keep you warm, but ca be removed
gradually to prevent you from overheating. During spring and autumn the night
temperatures in the mountains often dip below freezing, making warm gear
essential. In summer the days can be hot, requiring light cotton clothing. Good
wet-weather gear is recommended during the rainy summer months. The mountainous
regions of Tibet can receive snow any month of the year; be prepared for cold
weather if you plan to trek at elevations above 16000 feet (4880 m). Below is a
list of suggested equipment, clothing, and accessories for Tibet
Equipment:
Footwear: hiking boots should have thick soles and be high enough to provide
adequate ankle support. The newer ligh5weight boots are more comfortable but
less durable than all-leather hiking boots. Consider gore-Tex-lined boots for
treks during the rainy summer months. Optional: a pair of thongs or sneakers to
wear in camp.
Packs: if you plan to backpack, use a pack with a wide,
cushioned waist belt and thick shoulder straps that will comfortably support
weight. On commercial treks you only need a day pack to carry your daily
essentials. This pack should have padded shoulders straps, a wide waist belt,
and a volume of about 1500 to 2000 cubic inches.
Duffel bag: long (36 inches or so), heavy-duty canvas or
nylon bag that can be secured with a padlock. Waterproof by lining it with one
or two thick plastic bags.
Sleeping bag: a three-season (spring-summer-autumn), mummy-style down or
fiber-filled bag rated to about 5 to -10o C.
Inner Sheet: A silk or cotton inner sheet minimizes the
need to wash our sleeping bag.
Sleeping pad: choose a full-length, self-inflating, or
standard closed-cell foam pad.
Rain gear: Your raincoat should be roomy, mid-thigh in length,
and have a water proof hood. Rain pants can double as wind pants. Gore-Tex,
Japara, or high-quality coated nylon materials are best.
Water bottle: Take along one or two plastic or metal leak
proof quart or liter bottles.
Clothing:
Thermal underwear: Bring one or two Paris of long-sleeved tops and bottoms and
from wool, silk, polypropylene, or a similar synthetic fiber. Short-sleeved
thermal tops are good on cool days while trekking. Avoid cotton long underwear.
Cotton underpants: Bring four or five pairs.
Socks: Have at least three pairs of wool / wool-mix
socks, and several pairs of cotton socks. Hand-knit wool socks are available in
Kathmandu.
Shirts: Bring a long-sleeved shirt made of wool, flannel,
or chamois; a long-sleeved stay-press cotton shirt; and two or three cotton
t-shirts.
Pants: Men should plan on taking one pair of
loose-fitting wool or fiberpile pants and one pair of lighter-weight cotton
pants. Women should bring several changes of mid-calf-length dresses or skirts,
though loose-fitting pants are also acceptable. Shorts are not appropriate at
any time in Tibet for mean or women.
Sweater: Choose wool or wool mix with a high neck for
extra warmth.
Jacket: A fiberpile jacket is ideal for trekking and
evenings in camp.
Headgear: Bring along a wool or fiberpile ski-style cap
or balaclava for warmth. A lightweight brimmed hat is good for sun protection.
Inexpensive broad-brimmed straw and flet hats are sold in Kathmandu’s city
markets.
Scarf: Wool or silk is best, or use a fiberpile neck
gaiter
Mittens or gloves: Wool, pile, or polypropylene is best

A typical day begins with a hot cup of tea brought to the tent at about 6 am, followed by a bowl of hot water for washing. After packing our bags and having a good breakfast, we set off on the morning's walk. All you need to carry is a small daypack containing a water bottle, camera, sun cream, hat, rain-jacket and a warm jumper, just in case. The porters or yaks will carry everything else for you. After walking for 3-4 hours we stop for lunch at around midday. The afternoon's walk is generally shorter and we arrive at camp in time for a nice cup of tea. The remainder of the afternoon can be spent exploring the nearby villages, doing a bit of washing or simply relaxing with a good book. Dinner is usually served between 6 and 7pm and after dinner, the evening is often spent playing cards or talking with the crew – and sometimes there will even be some singing and dancing before heading off to the tent for a well-earned sleep.
Our tours and treks are based on entry and exit from Kathmandu. However, you can also enter from parts of Mainland China, i.e. Beijing, Chengdu etc.

The roads in Tibet can at times become quite rough and impassable for many vehicles, so for this reason we use best Land cruiser 4WD (Toyota 4500). These vehicles are extremely reliable and will make the journey as comfortable as possible. As for the trekking and climbing there will be a truck for carrying luggage and trek equipments. We’ll drive for several hours, stopping along the way for photographs or places of special interest, before stopping for lunch at around midday. After lunch we continue our journey, generally arriving at our destination by 3 or 4pm.
Fully organized treks provide the best way to explore around the remote and high Himalaya. This is because we trek as a self contained unit. Carrying our food, & camping equipment.

Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS) Commonly called altitude sickness, this has the potential to affect all trekkers from 2500m and higher. Your body needs days to adjust to smaller quantities of oxygen in the air - at 5500m/18,044ft the air pressure is approximately half that of sea level, ie there is half the amount of oxygen (and nitrogen). This is approximately equivalent to the top of Kala Pattar, in the Everest region, and the top of the Thorung La on the Annapurna Circuit. For treks below an altitude of about 3000m/10,000ft it is not normally a problem. AMS is caused by going up high too fast and can be fatal if all the warning signals are ignored. Note that it is not the actual altitude, but the speed at which you reach higher altitudes which causes the problems.
Altitude sickness is preventable. Go up slowly, giving your body enough time to adjust. These are the 'safe' rates for the majority of trekkers: spend 2-3 nights between 2000m/6562ft and 3000m/10,000ft before going higher. From 3000m sleep an average of 300m/1000ft higher each night with a rest day every 900-1000m/3000ft. ultimately it is up to you to recognize the symptoms, and only ascend if you are relatively symptom-free.
Normal symptoms at altitude, Don't expect to feel perfect at altitudes of more than 3000m. These are the normal altitude symptoms that you should expect BUT NOT worry about. Every trekker will experience some or all of these, no matter how slowly they ascend.
Periods of sleeplessness The need for more sleep than normal, often 10 hours or more, Occasional loss of appetite, Vivid, wild dreams at around 2500-3800m in altitude, Unexpected momentary shortness of breath, day and night, Periodic breathing that wakes you occasionally - consider taking Diamox, The need to rest/catch your breath frequently while trekking, especially above 4000m. Your nose turning into a full-time snot factory Increased urination - many trekkers have to go once during the night (a good sign that your body is acclimatizing:
Mild Symptoms You only need to get one of the symptoms to be getting altitude sickness, not all of them. Headache - common among trekkers. Often a headache comes on during the evening and nearly always worsens during the night. Raising your head and shoulders while trying to sleep sometimes offers partial relief. If it is bad you may want to try taking a painkiller: aspirin (dispirin), paracetamol, Ibuprofen (Aduil) or acetamenophen (tylenol). Never take sleeping tablets. You could also take Diamox: see below. Headaches arise from many causes, for example, dehydration, but if you develop a headache assume it is from the altitude.
Nausea (feeling sick) - can occur without other symptoms, but often nausea will develop with a bad headache. If you are better in the morning take a rest day, or if you still feel bad descend. Dizziness (mild) - if this occurs while walking, stop out of the sun and have a rest and drink. Stay at the closest teahouse.
Lack of appetite or generally feeling bad - common at altitude due to too rapid an ascent.
Painful cough or a dry raspy cough. In other words anything other than diarrhoea or a sore throat could be altitude sickness. Assume it is, because if you have a headache from dehydration, ascending further is not dangerous, but if its due to AMS, the consequences could be very serious. You cannot tell the difference, so caution is the safest course. Do not try to deceive yourself and accept that you body needs more time to adapt.
The most popular way to trek in Nepal is to travel from teahouse to teahouse. Hotel accommodation is most readily available in the Khumbu (Everest) region, the Langtang area and the entire Annapurna region. The tea houses on the trail have developed that has a electricity and they are modest, but clean accommodation offering foam mattresses in single & twin sharing rooms. Only our highest stop and in peak season sometime we use dormitory style of accommodation.
Lodges are found on the main trails of the Everest, Langtang and the Annapurna regions. These areas are most populated where we have interaction with local community, Flora and fauna. During the winter season most of the tourists prefer to rest at the tea house (lodge/hotel) due to cold, snow fall and windy air. The adventure tourists, however, are willing to camping trek.
Our treks include Trekking Guide/Sherpa Sirdar and porter. Porters and Yaks who carry client’s personal gears. We arrange all your transfer by private or tourist vehicle, cost includes & organize your trekking permit & Park entrance fees. At last, we provide special services for our patrons and make your trek is so simple and easiest one. Club Mountain will take care of you. After all, you are in Nepal to enjoy trekking yourself. Meals are included, leaving you free to choose from local menus. On the tea house, lodges/hotels the food is well prepared, but due to the altitudes and seasons, there limits to the range of produce available. With this mind, we have carefully designed more interesting and varied menus then those offered to independent trekkers. The meals are prepared to a similar hygiene standard as on our tented treks.
TREK GRADING (Trek Difficulty) Prior to embarking on a trek it is best to know which treks matches most with your physical capabilities. For many of our treks, you can choose between staying in tea-house and camping. A tea-house is a local run guest house, but standards vary enormously. In popular areas such as Annapurna, tea houses are more like hotels, with hot water, Western food and private rooms, whereas in remote areas, they are far simpler and more authentically Nepali. Tea-house trekking is less expensive than camping, and is suitable for small groups. With large groups, irrespective of the area, it is more practical to camp. A team of guides, porters and cooks mean you trek in comfort and provide international-style food of a high standard.
Grade 1 – Easy For trekkers with no previous experience, we offer a diverse range of easy treks generally between 900m/3,000ft and 2,000m/6,500ft. There are always plenty of 'ups and downs' anywhere in the Himalaya and clients need to be regular walkers to get full enjoyment from their experience. However, you should not think that loss of height means loss of interest; while our more challenging treks get you closer to a small number of mountain ranges; lower altitude treks often provide colorful horizons of a whole series of ranges. It is possible however to design 'easier' three to four day treks with perhaps only three to four hours walking per day on request.
The Ghorepani, Jamsom treks are much popular and you will find the terrain and views superb. If the idea of tea-house trekking appeals to you, but you would prefer to escape from the crowds, then the Helambu trek could be your ideal choice. You trek up to within sight of enormous snowy mountains, and then wind at a leisurely pace through a spectacular green valley. The tea-house is simpler here, but you will benefit from the peace of the unspoilt villages and the friendly welcome of your hosts. To really get away from it all, try the Shivapuri trek, Siklis trek or the Royal Trek. Whilst you will still pass through many remote villages, these regions are so unspoilt as to have no tea-houses, and you will need to camp.
Grade 2 – Moderate Bit more challenging than grade 1, generally between 900m/3,000ft to 3,000m/10,000ft but possibly involving side trips to higher elevations.
For a well-trodden route with good tea-house facilities, you could choose the Annapurna Base Camp Trek, which gets you close to glaciers and affords spectacular houses; try a trek in the beautiful Langtang region. For a moderate trek out in the wilds, Ganesh Himal would be a good choice. With only 100 visitors a year to this region, the local cultural traditions are still very much intact. On this trek, you across the high Singla Pass (4600m.) The Rara Trek is similarly remote and is a good option for the summer season as rainfall is low. As tourists are relatively unknown is these last two regions, you need to camp.
Grade 3 – Difficult Of course bit challenging, better to have some previous mountain walking experience generally trekking at altitudes up to 4,000m/13000 ft with side trips to higher elevation. Could be ascending up to 500m per day involving some steep climbing. Some treks included here will, in part, be well away from villages on hill- defined mountain trails.
For a popular and spectacular trek, with the possibility of staying in well-developed tea houses, the Annapurna circuit and Everest Base Camp is a good choice. A gradual ascent through a green river valley will lead you up to a number of high passes, where you will reach the altitude up to 5000m. For a real adventure in wild and Makalu Base Camp the Makalu trek traverses many high passes before reaching the Base Camp at 5000m. The Tibetan plateau of Mustang is a wild, treeless desert. The last two treks are possible only if you camp.
Grade 4 – Strenuous Most exciting and challenging trek. A demanding nature, requiring all participants to be fit and in excellent health, often in remote alpine areas access up to 5000m. For a popular trek, Annapurna circuit and Everest base camp over high passes are good choice. For a real adventure Manaslu over Larke Pass, Kanchanjunga (the third highest mountain in the world) are more exciting. As well we include all Tibet trips primarily because of the rigors of the climate and overall altitude, where the altitude access up to 5000m/6000 ft by vehicle or on foot.
Alpine Extremely demanding treks sometimes in very remote areas on rough terrain and perhaps including 'trekking peaks' - maximum altitude, Mt. Mera at 461m/21,192ft. Participants should have at least a basic knowledge of use of crampons and ice axes, though first time climbers may be accepted on some of the so called 'easy' routes on these peaks. Medical certificates are required prior to acceptance on any climbing treks.
Trekking Seasons: Trekking is possible at any time of the year depending on where you are going. Generally speaking, the best months to trek are October-November (post-monsoon) and April-May (pre-monsoon). It is possible to trek throughout the year but trekkers must be aware that bad/ freak weather can strike in any season. Below are details of trekking conditions throughout the year:
Autumn (Sept-Nov) Autumn is normally dry, stable and offers excellent climate, amazing mountain views and the weather is perfect. Temperatures are usually moderate during this period making it a good time for any trek. It can be cold at night higher up, but not as cold as the winter months (December-January). At low elevations it may still be hot during the day. Autumn is the most popular time for trekking so doesn’t expect solitude on the more popular routes. The Nepalese most important festivals (Dashain and Tihar) are marked during this season.
Winter (Dec-Feb) This season is noted for occasional snowfall only at higher elevations. So, it’s ideal for trekking at lower altitude, generally below 3200m. Winter is very cold above 4,000 m and high mountain passes may be snowbound. The high-altitude treks require good gear and experience in cold-weather conditions as temperatures at 5000m can drop below -20°C and heavy snow can fall.
Spring (Mar-May) The temperature is quite moderate in this season. Varieties of wild flowers, especially the rhododendrons are in complete blossom. It is mildly warm at lower elevations and at higher elevation, over 4000m, the Mountain View are excellent while the temperature is quite moderate.
Summer (June-Aug) This is the favorite season to trek in the rain shadow areas like Upper Mustang, Dolpo and Kailash. This season is also recommended for forest researchers and botanist. . It is recommended to carry Raincoats and insect repellents when trekking during these summer months. During the monsoon season (June-August), you can trek in the rain-shadow areas north of the Himalayan like Mustang and Dolpo. These places are out of reach of the rain clouds because of the high mountains and are unaffected by the monsoon.
A walk of few or many days up and down trail through the villages, hills & forests is call trekking. Walking through the country side is a unique destination for trekkers because of its unbeatable combination of natural beauty and cultural riches. The verdant valleys under the shadow of massive snow peaks, the rugged paths, resplendent ravines, wild waterfalls, picturesque lakes and many other visual delights unfold in their utmost beauty and glory. A walk through the hills of Nepal will not only give you a view of the mountains, but also take you through remote villages inhabited by hospitable people who will always well comes you smiling. We invite you to join us on visit to this remote region to see the truth of your dream. A trek is walking at your own pace along well-established village trails, enjoying close contact with people in remote mountain villages whose lifestyle has not changed for generations. Perhaps the most enjoyable parts of a trek are the clean mountain air and the magnificent views of the mighty Himalayan peaks. You will feel at peace with nature and with yourself.
We at Club Mountain (info@clubmountain.com) are committed to offer very personal and efficient services especially for the trekkers. All trekkers are accompanied by guide, a cook and some experienced staff. Provisions and luggage are carried by mountain horses and at high altitude by Yaks. Whichever trek you choose, it is essential to remember that a trek is not a climbing experience. Camp sites are carefully selected to afford you a walk each day at your own pace and our trekking crews are always around to guide you.
It was a pleasure to deal with Subin Thakuri, the agency's owner and leader. A young and bright Nepali I am proud to call a friend.
The Kangchenjunga trek I did with UAT was fabulous, thanks to my fantastic and dedicated guide Ang Phuri and his competent and also dedicated team of porters and cook. These guys bent over backward and went way beyond the call of duty to make sure I was alright at all times.
The Kangchenjunga region offers so much from great views of Himalayan giants to unmatched bio-diversity, wonderful inhabitants, fascinating culture and relatively few tourists, unlike the Everest or Annapurna treks that I also did in the past and who are very crowded these days. Kangchenjunga is the Himalaya's best kept secret, eastern Nepal is relatively isolated, some say it's like Nepal was in the early seventies before trekking became very popular, so go see it before it becomes as popular and crowded as Everest!
Not a day goes by without some pictures of Kangchenjunga appearing in my head, making me wish to come back to Nepal as soon as possible, for its mountain but also for its people.
It is very hard to go to Nepal and not fall in love with it...
Give it a try!

Subin Thakuri and his team from Utmost Adventure lead us on the most incredible and memorable trekking experience of a lifetime. Our 14 day hike through the Everest region in Nepal (from Lukla, across the Chola Pass, and to the Gokyo Lakes) was carefully planned to accommodated all 8 members of our walking group (ranging from 28-65 years of age). I could have never imagined spending this time with such caring, responsible, knowledgeable and fun trekking guides. I would highly recommend this trekking company to anyone wishing to experience this special part of the world. We visited the most beautiful sites, met the most lovely people, and came away with new friends, knowledge, and an overwhelming sense of achievement. In particular, I was most impressed with our guides attention to safety. Our Mr sherpa's were absolutely fantastic and managed to carry all of our luggage with smiles and singing voices. Thank you Utmost Adventure for everything you have done for us! I have absolutely no doubt that we will return for another 'Utmost Adventure' in the very near future.

I got the chance to trekk with Temba around Annapurna for 15 days, it was an incredible experience, amazing mountain views, meet dozens of people on the way and had a lot of fun drinking some beers after long-day walking days and crossing the Thorung La at 5416m !!! The experience was unique and Subin and all the guys working in Utmost provided me with everything I needed and more. Absolutetly recommendable company and guides to trek around.

We have been trekking form Lukla to Everest Base Camp, Kalapathar, Chola pass and Gokyo and it was a great trip. On this trip it is very important to have a good guide, and we were very happy with this tour. We have had a good feeling about the way he guided us and everything went safe and great. You can have a good trust in this agency they will take good care of you.
We hope that you will have a good trekking and enjoy the big mountains and the beauty of Nepal.
